Million

Meaning of Million

Million is a unisex name that comes straight from the Latin root “mille” (a thousand) and its Italian cousin “milione,” the word we now cheerfully use for a cool million, so it carries a built-in story of abundance. Said “mi-LEE-un,” it rolls off the tongue like a carnival trumpet, bright and bold. Parents who choose it often say they want their little one to grow up thinking big—bigger than big—because a name that means “countless” can’t help but spark limitless dreams. In recent U.S. records, only a handful of babies receive it each year, making it rare enough to feel like secret treasure yet familiar enough that everyone already knows how to spell it. Whether for a boy or a girl, Million glitters with the promise of “más y más,” a reminder that love, hope, and possibility can add up faster than any calculator.
